A series of fluorine substituted methoxyphenylalkyl amides were prepared with different orientations of the fluorine and methoxy groups with respect to the alkylamide side chain and with alkyl sides of differing lengths (n = 1–3). β-Dimethyl and α-methyl derivatives were also synthesised. The compounds were tested as melatonin agonists and antagonists using the pigment aggregation of Xenopus melanophores
制备了一系列氟取代的甲氧基苯基烷基酰胺,其氟和甲氧基相对于烷基酰胺侧链的方向不同,且烷基侧长度不同(n = 1-3)。还合成了β-二甲基和α-甲基衍生物。使用非洲爪蟾黑色素细胞的色素聚集作为生物测定,测试这些化合物作为褪黑激素激动剂和拮抗剂的作用。其中许多化合物是有效的褪黑激素激动剂,其效力取决于烷基链的长度、甲氧基和氟取代基的方向、酰胺链的长度,以及对于乙基侧链类似物而言,β-取代基的存在。
